CHAPTER ONE
BACKGROUND OF THE COMPANY
1.1 History and Development of the company

After the Ethiopian – English victory over fascist Italy, the new government establish the state
bank Ethiopia a proclamation issued in August 1942. State bank of Ethiopia commenced full
operations on 15 April 1943 with two branches and 43 staffs. It served both as the Ethiopian
central bank with the power to issue bank notes and coins as the agent of the ministry of finance,
and as the principal commercial bank in the country. In 1945 the Ethiopian government granted
the bank the sole right of issuing currency. The first governor of the bank was an American,
George Blowers. He introduced the new national currency, which owed its successful
introduction to the United States. The United States provided the silver for 50 cents coins, whose
intrinsic value ensured popular acceptance of the new paper money to a population used to the
circulation of the silver Maria Theresa thaler. In 1958, the state bank of Ethiopia established a
branch in Khartoum, Sudan, that the Sudanese government nationalized in 1970. [1] over the
time grew to number 21 branches. [2] In 1950s, SBE established a branch in Djibouti. [3] In
1920 the bank of Abyssinia opened a transit office in Djibouti. At some point after its creation
the state bank of Ethiopia reopened the transit office, which in time became a branch.

In 1963, the Ethiopian government split the state bank of Ethiopia into two banks, the National
bank of Ethiopia (central bank), and the commercial bank of Ethiopia (CBE). [4] seven years
later, the Sudanese government nationalized the commercial bank of Ethiopia’s branch in
Khartoum. The Ethiopian government merged Addis’s bank into commercial bank of Ethiopia in
1980 to make CBE the sole commercial bank in the country. The government had created Addi’s
bank from merger of the newly nationalized Addis Abeba bank and the Ethiopian operations of
the Banco di Roma and Banco di Napoli, Addis Abeba bank was an affiliate that National bank
had established in 1963 and at which it owned 40%. At the time of nationalization Addis Abeba
bank had 25 branches. The merger of Addis Abeba with CBE made CBE the sole commercial
bank in Ethiopia with 128 branches and 3633 employees. In 1991 when the Eritrea achieved its
independence, CBE lost its branch in Eritrea nationalization. These branches formed the base for
what became in 1994, the commercial bank of Eritrea. Also in 1994, the Ethiopian government
reorganized and re-established CBE.

 INTERNSHIP REPORT 2022/2023 BY BONSA HUNDE

In 2004, CBE closed its branch in Djibouti due to problems with loan losses. In January 2009,
CBE received regulatory approval to open a branch in Juba, southern Sudan. CBE expanded its
presence in South Sudan to five branches in Juba and Malakal, but ongoing conflict in the
country has forced CBE to close all but two branches in Juba.

A few years ago, the government restructured CBE and signed a contract with Royal bank of
Scotland for management consultancy services. After the death of its former president Mr.
Gezahegn Yilma, the board of management appointed Mr. Able Sano as a new president of the
bank. Parliament recently increased the bank’s capital to 4 billion Ethiopian Birr.

The Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE) is the largest commercial bank in Ethiopia according
to CBE profile 2014/15, it had about 303.6 billion Birr in assets and held approximately 67% of
deposits and about 53% of all bank loans in the country. The bank has around 22,908 employees
who staff its headquarters and its over 1000+ branches positioned in the main cities and regional
towns. The latter include 120 branches in the national capital Addis Abeba. With the opening of
the branch in the Guchi in the Illubabor zone of the Oromia Region, CBE’s banking network has

4.2 Recommendations for Improving the Internship Program

to improve this program, the university, the organizations, supervisors, students, and others must
be work together. These are areas which must be improved: -
 some organization simply takes acceptance for the student without any preparation at the
place students assigned.
 the school /department/ should have to prepare appropriate related organization with their
specific field of study for their internship
 Because of the limitation of information some assumption was made. So, there may be
some personal mistake in this report.
 The time one months are not sufficient to know all activities of the branch to prepare the
report
